WhatsApp for iPhone will allow you to see photos and GIFs in notifications

News to WhatsApp arrive week after week for all versions of iOS and Android. If last week we told you about the new notifications about dangerous links, today we have to tell you that WhatsApp for iPhone will allow you to see photos and GIFs in the same notifications.

WhatsApp has just announced today an update that is available in the App Store, therefore, for iPhone users, and that has the version number 2.18.80. This includes new interesting improvements, but this intuits a novelty that will come later. And that many users were eagerly awaiting.

This is the ability to see photos and GIFs in the notifications themselves The feature, which many users thought was available in this updated version, not yet up and running. In fact, it will be necessary to wait for future updates to see and test it. This is so because before applying this feature, many other improvements are necessary that have not yet reached WhatsApp.

See photos and GIFs in notifications

This will be an extension for notifications, which will allow us to see the images and GIFs that we have received on our mobile. But beware, this function is not yet available, not at the moment, because it is a feature that WhatsApp plans to introduce in the not too distant future.

Users who have it activated (as soon as it arrives, of course) will be able to see those images or even download them from the notifications section itself The latter in the event that they had disabled the automatic download of multimedia files in their WhatsApp.

To view the contents, yes, it will be necessary to display the notification tray by sliding your finger down on the iOS bar. In any case, the fact of being able to see these images or GIFs here will save us a lot of time.

Although it will be available in future versions (hopefully not too late), we know this feature will work on Apple devices that have iOS 10 or higher installed .
